Merry Christmas to me

#1

My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I told him I wanted one of those Total Totes (http://www.knitpicks.com/Total+Tote_ADTotalTote.html) in the chocolate color. He told me to order it. Sooooooooo…I just got online and ordered it and a ton of yarn and the Harmony cable needles (http://www.knitpicks.com/Knitting_Supplies.aspx?key=90347). Aren’t they gorgeous!!! :woot:

I plan on doing that cabled bag from the DROPS (?) calendar! I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. I wonder if hubby will notice the extra $10 I charged to ship it in 3 days?! Hey, had I not done that, it would have come in 14 days…one day AFTER Christmas.

yea you! I wonder if you will get the harmony needles that fast though? aren’t they on back order?:??

#3

I just ordered some harmony dpns (size 0 – they look like toothpicks!) and some of the harmony options and they arrived in less than a week.

Congrats on getting your xmas wishes! I got the Total Tote (in brown as well) a few months ago and love it. I usually do smaller projects (hats, afghan squares, scarves) so that several projects fit in there just perfectly. May not be big enough for a sweater project, but it holds all my tools so I have them all in one place. And don’t forget to remove the middle section, because it’s velcro could destroy your yarn. Hope you enjoy it!

:inlove: How exciting for you. I have the harmony cable needle set, and they are very beautiful. You’re going to love 'em.

#6

My I borrow your husband? Just for the Christmas season? lol

#7

Sure! After all, my mother always taught me to share!

#8

You had me worried, so I double checked. The cable needles were in stock, and everything shipped out last night! :woot:

#9

:woot: YAY for dh!! I finally have the cable needles coming to me too :teehee: …they shipped last night…

#10

I’m so glad they aren’t on back order! maybe I should go get them myself???:woohoo:

#11

:teehee: Go grab them now…they sell out fast…everytime I thought I’ll wait the next day they would be gone…

#12

my mil got me harmony circulars but said the cable needles were on back order until January…not sure about dpns, which were also on my list…maybe I should re-check!?

Well, now I’m not so sure here. I tried to order online yesterday, but I was having cookie/password issues, so I called my order in. The woman on the phone said nothing about the cable needles being back-ordered. My package shipped and is scheduled for delivery TODAY :woot: despite the fact that I paid for 3-day shipping (which would mean Monday) - and it lists the cable needles as being included with the order.
Being obsessed with my order, I just went to knitpicks again. My “stash” still showed all the items that I was going to order, and the cable needles were listed as “not available until January” something.
So now I don’t know if they will be in my box or not.
My other dilemma: Since this is a Christmas gift to me, do I NOT open the box when it arrives or do I rip it open and look at everything??? I suppose the [B]adult[/B] thing to do would be to just hand the unopened box to DH and let him wrap it up for Christmas, but that is going to KILL me!!!

I vote open it! Nothing like a good pre xmas surprise!
